The site of the medieval parish church of Dunnottar is probably indicated by an area of slightly raised ground to the SE of the present church (built in 1782 and extended in 1869) and adjoining the Marischal Aisle. The aisle, built for George Keith in 1582 to serve as a private chapel and burial-vault, was heavily restored in 1914; within the aisle there are several carved fragments including three armorial panels which may have come from the earlier church. The church of Dunnottar was dedicated to St Bridget and was built in the the late 14th century to replace the former parish church at Dunnottar Castle (NO 881 838).
